Generic Lad Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 5 centuries old?? I think a 5 crept infront of the actual price whilst typing?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1677-Charles-II-4D-Four-Pence-Groat-AU-/160619670195?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2565adaab3Yeah... possibly the 4 as well!Maybe by his maths, its a dollar a year...I wouldn't be surprised if it sells though. Here in the US there is a huge "age premium" for coins that you don't see in most of Europe and condition matters less with US collectors than British ones. Even 19th century coins sell for $$$ based on their age, and any coins in fine/very fine condition dating from the early 1900s or before are considered to be in excellent condition. If you buy early milled or hammered coins form a US seller you end up paying much more than you would from a British dealer simply because of the age. Even an incredibly worn Victoria penny will easily sell for $3+ just because most Americans view it as ancient. Quote

And also thats interesting with 1950 being a rare date for the brass threepence, any other rare/interesting dates for UK base metal coinage (both decimal and pre-decimal) that I can keep an eye out for in dealer "junk bins"?

Rob Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I'm not sure how he will realise that he has changed from milled to hammered. Both types of offering were dire. Quote
Rob Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) What's all this then? How can you have a mule with an obverse and a reverse that should be paired. Same mintmarks both sides and the correct obverse and reverse. Sorry Mat, couldn't resist, i'm feeling mischievous. It's a straight S2668, S2669 has the plume over shield reverse. The portrait looks almost too strong though, as if it has been tooled, but that should be simple to verify under a glass. Edited July 22, 2011 by Rob Quote
